Post natal depression?

I love my little boy no end already, he is so well behaved. Sleeps a lot, eats well and barely cries but I keep getting nasty thoughts. I'm a bit worried about talking to my doctor tomorrow when I see her because I've already got a long history of depression. What's weird though is that I am so so happy but still getting these nasty thoughts :s anyone else have this problem? Oh and he's my first.

Im feeling the same way. I keep having panic attacks & cant be alone or it seems to bother me more. This happened with my first 10 years ago & is really hard to deal with. Make sure you talk to your doctor especially since you have a history of depression. A counselor might help as well. Message me if you want to talk more, I think it will help both of us! :)

Please please talk to your doctor. Everyone gets the "baby blues" but if you have a history of depression it's important to be honest with your doctor. I felt myself going down a very dark path last week, I sat and talked to my husband, friends, and docs. I made some changes and now I feel like the sun comes up everyday. Good luck

I told my doctor about it and I don't even have the baby yet. She told me I can get it as soon as I give birth and it's safe to breastfeed with it. I think it's really important to take care of yourself mama. Good Luck!!!

I didnt get the depression this time (but i did w my second)! I did however get panic this time so Dr gave me xanax for when i start to feel too overwhelmed (i admit most days i take atleast a half but no more than one)!! Speak with ur Dr and your support (be it your husband SO or your parents or siblings)...know that you are not alone!! It's a very messed up thing we go through so much crap during pregnancy to wind up going through crazy crap after we have the baby too...how fair is that?! If you need a nonjudgemental ear message me ;)!!
